    Sharing Network Security Key


    Hello everyone. I wish to connect my computer to a wireless router. Unfortunately, I don't not know the password for the wireless router. While I do know how to reset the password, other people will no longer be able to connect to the router, if I were to change the password. So if you would tell me how to access Windows 10, on a computer which is connected to the wireless router, and store the key on a thumb drive, I would very much appreciate it.

    Basically, how do I use Windows 10 to save the network security key on a flash drive?

    Thank you very much.

    :)

    Windows 10 WEP Wireless Network Connection

    I have a home network set up with WEP security using a shared key.
    I realize this is poor security, but it is the only security supported by me shared printer and I live in a rather isolated location so I am not concerned.
    After upgrading to Windows 10, I have not been able to connect to my network.
    WEP security is provided as a choice during manual connection, but the shared key is not provided as a choice and Windows 10 refuses to connect to the network.
    How can I connect Windows 10 to my wireless network?

    N95 "invalid WPA Pre-shared key" (D-Link, DKT 410).

    I have the same problem on my N82.

    When I use no security or WEP security, I have no problems to connect to the WLAN and everything works perfect.

    But when I use WPA and a Pre-Shared Key, it says "Can't connect. Invalid pre shared key". I'm 100% sure the key is correct, since it is working perfect on 2 different laptops.

    Haven't tried it on a different WPA/PSK secured network, but other open or WEP protected networks aren't a problem.

    Sharing Network Security Key

    From elevated command prompt:

    netsh wlan export profile key=clear folder="%UserProfile%\Desktop"

    Then copy the file(s) generated (one per interface) from the desktop to your thumb drive.

    Alternatively you can open the file in notepad and just write down the password (shown in red here).

    Code: <?xml version="1.0"?> <WLANProfile xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v1"> <name>Router-A</name> <SSIDConfig> <SSID> <hex>4254D39870F78039001837</hex> <name>Router-A</name> </SSID> </SSIDConfig> <connectionType>ESS</connectionType> <connectionMode>auto</connectionMode> <MSM> <security> <authEncryption> <authentication>WPA2PSK</authentication> <encryption>AES</encryption> <useOneX>false</useOneX> </authEncryption> <sharedKey> <keyType>passPhrase</keyType> <protected>false</protected> <keyMaterial>abcdefg123</keyMaterial> </sharedKey> </security> </MSM> <MacRandomization xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v3"> <enableRandomization>false</enableRandomization> </MacRandomization> </WLANProfile>[/quote] More details here:

    I don't currently have access to the network, I mentioned in the original post, but I look forward to trying out this solution. When I do I will let you know how well it works. Thank you for sharing this solution with me.

    You don't need access. If you have successfully connected in the past you should already have the profile for it stored on your PC. Try...

    netsh wlan show profiles
